It's all amusing... where friends, family and visitors get up-to-date news, information and comments from Padre, Sidetrack, Beaner, Peanut, Chalupa and Big Dawg. Go F*U*N or go home!

Two Teams, One Picnic
There was enough interest in U10 (Under 10) Girls Soccer that the group was divided into two teams at the beginning of the season. When they faced off last night in league competition, the coaches agreed to a draw rather than tempt competitive spirits to overwhelm the terrific friendships that exist between these girls. Many of them will play together for years to come. Instead, the kids played aganst the parents and I think won. Even Big Dawg got to play! Afterwards we had a collective picnic. And here is a picture of our Soccer future...

Optimists Selling Lemonade
Peanut, Side Track, Chalupa and Beaner sold lemonade at the Optimist Bakesale Stand during Saturday's Farmer's Market. Shortly after this, Chalupa headed North to Apple Valley for day two of a soccer tournament. They lost. This is the longest losing streak this team has had to endure. Oh well. As the saying goes... "When life give you lemons...."

Troops Return Home
Chalupa and Peanut return home after a moderately successful soccer match. Chalupa was invited to "play up" with the U11 team (Peanut's team). They played the undefeated and ruthlessly physical Owatonna team.
Chalupa scored one of the teams two goals in the first half, but they also gave up a very savable goal as well and went into the half leading two to one. In the second half Owatonna's offence blasted past our defenders for a three on one shot on goal. Chalupa was tending the net, but the shot went just beyond her reach to tie the game. And there it remained when the final whistle blew.
It was a moral victory for Monkey Doo and a blemish for Owatonna. Make no mistake, Monkey Doo served notice and will be out to ungraciously smother this rude and ruthless opponent every chance they get from now on. Until then, the girls can smile and even stick out their tongue to celebrate a match well-played! We'll get 'em next time, but good!

Road Rash
And you should see the road!
It was a long steep down hill. The easement from a sidewalk onto the road was disceptive, and Peanut ended up going over the curb doing 15 - 20 MPH on her bike. She immediately lost control and in a tumble of metal, pavement and flesh... she slid to the otherside of the road into that curb.
After a trip to the ER she has many massive abrassions and some choice bruising, but no broken bones.
A few tears were shed by her and her mother. But her spirits are high and she has attained a new level of toughness and respect from her sisters. Cool huh?

Post School Party
This is the third (or fourth?) annual last-day-of-school gathering of gals. The bulk of these kids are here to celebrate Chalupa's birthday. However, Peanut and Beaner also had friends spend the night. From left: The Boot, Beaner (back), McDoogle (front), Sammy, Chalupa (front), Kara (back), The General (center), Thunker, Scooter Bug, Peanut and Chester. It was a nutty, nutty, nutty night to kick off what promises to be a fun and adventurous summer.

Deliverance
25 Years After
Crazy Pete I
And Crazy Pete II
Paddling away
In a wobbly Canoe
Down the Upper Iowa,
(If that makes any sense?)
They floated away
These nutty two gents.
It's been 25 years
Since this duo has paddled
They're a bit worn from age
And a lot more addled.
So to commemorate their effort
The Taylor Tabloid Salutes:
Three Cheers for these Pete's
With great holler and hoots!
